Hi friends! As some of you already know, I have been traveling for the last couple of weeks. My family and I had been waiting five years for a trip that took us to some of the most beautiful sights in the world. We went to Italy, Switzerland, and France! If you're...

WHY WOULD I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU? There are a lot of reasons why I would want to be like you. You are funny, inspirational, interesting, super smart, engaging, successful, generous, and clever - which are just a few of the many talents and gifts that you possess. Did...

You know that kindergarten game, Duck, Duck, Goose? It goes like this: You and your friends sit in a circle and one person walks around tapping each of you on the head, saying “Duck” until they tap you, and yell, “Goose!” Then you jump up and try to catch the person...

So there I was spread across our king-sized master bed like a snow angel - a very pregnant snow angel. We had just arrived home from the local "weekend warrior" hangout --Home Depot -- where my husband spent over an hour getting the 411 on how to put in a window. He...

I was pacing the travertine floor back and forth in the foyer of my house. I didn't have to be there till 9am, but it felt like I was running late -- my stomach was tight, I couldn't focus, I was breathing fast, I felt the need for speed! I needed to move. Finally, I...

There’s Carly, again. You recognize her, don’t you? She’s the one who doesn’t seem to be bothered by self-doubt. If she doesn’t know how to do something, she’s not racked with indecision or anxiety. She just goes out and finds the answer – no wavering, no endless...

There she was in a pickle of a position trying to figure out how she did it to herself -- again. I mean, she did everything right, right? She made her plan, put it on her calendar, and even set an alarm to get it done -- so when the alarm rang,...

We were driving back from lunch and my husband was asking me about scheduling. It sounded a lot like he was asking me for some great hack, because he noticed how much I was able to get done in a day. I told him that when you consistently do what you love, you have a...

There's this scene from the movie "Now You See Me," in which one of the characters, J. Daniel Atlas, (on the left) thinks he is the smartest person in the room and has outwitted the bumbling FBI agent, Dylan Rhodes (on the right). He gloats, "First rule of magic:...

Today's story is about Vicky and Serena. It's a simple story, but one to make you think. Vicky loved to play pranks on everyone. She couldn't wait to get out of bed and see who she could play a prank on next. One day, her mom could step out of bed and into a pan of...

When you're a life coach, it seems like every experience can turn into a teaching moment. Lately, it seems that each day, I learn something new to apply and this story is no different and happens to be totally true! The moments I like best are the ones where I can...

**Hello Everyone! I thought I would try something different for the next few weeks. I'm going to write a short story and then go over some take aways from the story to help you and myself apply these lessons that make our lives better. I believe that if we change our...

It's been a month since my last post and a lot has happened since then. We sold our house, as some of you know, and not surprisingly, the move was a lot more challenging than I had previously thought. We are finally settled in the S.F. Bay Area and I wanted to share ...

13 hours and 37 minutes. Those numbers made sense and my guess is that the real reason we are headed to Amarillo, Texas is to meet some more amazing people. Everywhere we've been has been like that: kind-hearted, generous people making a difference in people's lives...

Counting down 5, 4, 3, no, it's not Mel Robbins' 5 Second rule, nor a countdown for a rocket launch. For the past 24 years I have lived in St. Augustine, Florida. I've seen my share of triumphs and heart break, of having beautiful experiences and asking myself...

It has been a whirlwind these past couple of weeks. Between heading back home from California to selling our home with a close date that is less than three weeks away, I kind of feel like there is not enough time to do it all. It's sort of like preparing for a...
